A Word About Advertising.

Only those who have tried it thoroughly
know the value of advertising, and they
use the columns OF the newspapers freely.
Some of them were among a lot OF bust
ness men of Louisville, KY, who lately
met to decide upon the best means to
adopt TO bring the advantages of that city
before the world. One of those who favor
liberal advertising was made president
of the meeting, and In the course of his
remarks he said: "Little is seen in the
way of advertisements, even in the best
patronized papers of our city, except OF
announcements where retail bagains
may be had. A city is judged by the
advertising patronage extended to
its representative papers. and the whole
sale men of this city need a vigorous
shaking up" Another gentleman who
was present at the meeting said: at
does not matter what the daily press says
ola city's prosperity. The papers must
reflect it in their pages. In other words
the business men must advertise their
business. When a daily paper goes fir ON
a city into an exchange Office 1t should
carry the evidence OF boom with it, not
only the statement of it,
The remarks OF the Louisville business
meH apply to this and other cities. In
this city the cotton and naval stores fac
tors. the fertilizer dealers and wholesale
merchants generally do but little adver-
tislng. They do not appear to appreciate
the benefit that Will accrue to them by
keeping not only their names and busi-
ness before their respective constitu-
encies and the business world, but also
rom the prosperity that comes from
united effort to increase the city's busI-
ness.
The MORNING NEWS has a very hand
some advertising business, but 1t comes
mainly from the city's retail merchants.
Their advertisements are productive OF
immediate results, and for that reason,
perhaps, is more highly appreciated.
The factor or wholesale merchant, how
ever, who tries advertising with the same
faith that the retail merchant has will
eventually reap the same benefit he does.
There is fortune waiting for the en-
terprising factor or Wholesale merchant
who takes q new departure and makes
Ibis business familiar TO the public by
judicious and liberal advertising.

Importation of Eggs.

In 1876 the United States imported about
i've m ltlon doz n of eggs, but in 1885 the
quantity had increased to sixteen million
dozen, representing money value Of two
and half millions Of dollars every penny
of which had to be paid in gold coin. At
this rate of increase we should pay to foreign
countries during fifty years, for the single
item of eggs, an amount more than equal to
the present national debt But the imparta-
ton Of eggs must very soon cease. The dis
coverv of Sheridan's Powder to make hens
Law, has already increased the supply Of eggs
to a very appreciable extent, and 1t seems
safe to assume that the continued use of this
powder will double the egg product within
five years. By the persistent and intelligent
use of Sheridans Powder, hens are made to
Law nearly the entire year and especially dur
ing tue season when eggs bring the highest
price. This fact mas encouraged thousands
If people to go into the business who would
not otherwise have done so. 1t is not
necessary to have farm to keep hens on,
as many suppose. Hens may be kept con-
venientiy and proftably in large and
crowded city. In fact the whole business of
poultry keeping has been reduced to a science
during the last five years. | S. johnson &
Co., of 22 Custom House Street, Boston have
recently published a valuable book on this
subject entitled "The Poultry Raising
Gnide," single copy, 25 cents. They will
send the book and two 25 cent packs of Sberi-
dams Powder for 60 cents post paid, or a "a
pound tin can for 81 20. Within the covers Of
this book one can find all the information nec-
essary to enable one to make money at the
business. Every question has been antici-
pated and answered, and the plainest possible
directions given on every point.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS-.
Various Measures to be IntrOduced-The
Senate to Adjourn as Mark Of Re-
spect.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2

w ASHlkGTON. Jan.
In the Senate tomorrow, after the reading
of the Journal. Senator Cuilom will formally
announce the death of his colleague and the
Senate will adjourn as q mark of respect
Wednesday at = o'clock Mr.. Culom will
ask the Senate TO proceed to the considera-
ton of the interstate commerce bill, and
there is a general impression that the meas
ure will be taken up and will form the chief
topic of discussion thereafter until disposed
of. The unfinished business of the Senate is
the bill providing for the establishment of
an agricultural experiment station, while the
bill to prohibit the members of Congress
from acting as attorneys for railroads, comes
over. One or both may be disposed of dur
iDg the week
Ii is expected that the legislative week in
the House will be consumed in the discus
sion of appropriation bills and he measure
reported from the committee on agriculture
providing for the or alton Of / dtpar' ment of
agriculture and labor. There are four sp-
preparation bills now upon the calendar--the
Indian, military academy, diplomatic and
consular and pension bills. None of these
measures are likely to give rise to extended
debate. except possibly the diplomatic and
consular bill Nearly all the measures made
special orders are likely TO he pressed for ac-
tion as soon as possible. Toward the latter
part of the week it is expected that the con.
terees on the electoral count bill will report
an agreement and request the House to take
final action which probably will be granted.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.
The weekly crop statement of the Farmers
Review of this city is as follows: Returns
from various correspondents very generally
continue to speak fsvorably of the prospects
for winter wheat. In Michigan, Illinois, In
diana and Ohio the fields are generally well
protected with snow, though in bond. Some
of the other southern Illinois counties the
fields are reported to be covered with ice,
and severel Missouri counties report full
Gown wheat suffering from dry cold. Reports
from Kansas as to wheat are not uniformly
a. favorable as formerly, several counties
reporting that the plant looks feeble and
poorly. The feature of the reports from In
diana and Ohio is that all early sown grain is
looking very we'll, while late sown wheat is
looking poorly.

SKowHEGAS, Jan. 5.
The breach VI promise case, Susan F
Emery vs.. Lewis Fish, has ended. The de-
fendant's counsel contended that the evidence
does not show an express promise to marry.
She alleged an express promise, and the law
requires her to prove it. True, she states it,
as made at Lowell, May g. 1881, but the let
ters Immediately following are not consistent
with such promise, neither was her going
to his house.
The judge instructs the jury that an ex
press promise must be proved, but an express
promise does not mean a promise expressed
in words. An express promise may be proved
by circum4tanial evidence. Ihe jury may
infer the promise from the conduct of the
parties.
The verdict was for the plaintiff for $500
